Illuminating umbrella handle

Abstract

An umbrella handle with a pivotable torch, in which two dry batteries are received on both sides of the umbrella shift. The wiring of the handle is such that when the torch is turned over a specific angle, it is switched on. This structure optimally utilize the available space and minimize the size of the handle.

I claim: 
     
       1. An umbrella handle for an umbrella having a shaft which is mounted on said handle, said handle being in form of a substantially rectangular hollow body of length L, width W and thickness T, wherein L slightly outsizes the length of a standard dry battery, said handle being provided with an illuminating means pivotable in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the thickness of said handle, the length of said illuminating means being not greater than W, and the thickness of said illuminating means being not greater than T, said handle being so structured as to receive said shaft while defining two spaces one on each side of said shaft sufficient to respectively receive a standard dry battery, said handle being provided with terminal means which are so structured that said lighting means is only energized when batteries are loaded in said spaces and when said illuminating means is pivoted a specific angle away from said handle.
